Summary
Two weeks ago, Muslim terrorists murdered a French teacher teaching about freedom of expression. On Wednesday, another Muslim refugee in France did the same thing. But the reaction from the media and government in France is worse than the reaction in Denmark after the Charlie Hebdo attack a dozen years ago.

Hello, my friends. Today I talk about two terrible terrorist attacks in France.
00:00:05.740
And that's predictable enough, I suppose, but the reaction from the media is worse,
00:00:11.940
and the reaction from Canada's government is the worst of all. I'll let you know.

Tonight, more Islamic terrorism in France, and more mealy-mouthed submission from Canada.
00:00:53.260
This is October 29th, and this is The Ezra Levant Show.
00:00:56.200
Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?
00:01:01.840
There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer.
00:01:05.900
The only thing I have to say to the government about why I publish it is because it's my bloody
00:01:16.460
Two weeks ago, Muslim terrorists murdered a teacher in France. Samuel Patti was his name.
00:01:22.880
He was teaching students about freedom of expression. As part of the lesson, he showed
00:01:27.420
his students images from Charlie Hebdo, the satirical French magazine that makes fun of
00:01:32.720
everything and everyone, every religion. The reason that was interesting, and not just inflammatory
00:01:38.460
or gross, is that almost six years ago, Muslim terrorists attacked Charlie Hebdo's office and
00:01:45.580
murdered 12 people and wounded 11 more. It was clear a message of censorship, of infidels,
00:01:52.480
of blasphemy, and killing those who defy Islam. And the response by the world's media back then
00:01:57.900
was less than stellar, even worse in some ways than the cowardice shown a dozen years ago in reaction
00:02:04.560
to the Danish cartoons of Mohammed. Back then, the first time, most journalists were just cowards.
00:02:10.380
They were quiet. They didn't publish them. But after Charlie Hebdo, the mainstream opinion was that
00:02:15.500
Charlie Hebdo sort of deserved it. They provoked it. Didn't they know better? And in the six years
00:02:22.160
since then, things have moved even further. I'm sure that today most journalists would say that the
00:02:26.140
terrorists were victims of Islamophobia, and Charlie Hebdo should have been charged with hate crimes.
00:02:31.580
So there's a lot to talk about, a lot of history, very relevant to France and a school teacher,
00:02:37.420
which is, you know, France is a very secular republic. It's the land of the Enlightenment. So
00:02:42.860
it's interesting and important to teach, and Samuel Paty invited his students, well, to leave the
00:02:47.440
classroom if they were skittish about seeing cartoons or easily defended. Well, they did not leave the
00:02:52.580
class, and they went nuts. I'm talking about the Muslim students. The father of one girl in the class
00:02:58.160
reported Paty to police for pornography because one of the cartoons of Mohammed had him nude.
00:03:06.680
That same father of a student made YouTube videos identifying the teacher, Samuel Paty,
00:03:11.820
including his address, and led protests at the school calling for him to be banned, calling him a
00:03:16.960
thug. A major mosque followed suit, denouncing the teacher, calling him a thug. A teacher for teaching
00:03:23.260
was a thug. Well, surprise, surprise, another Muslim refugee in France followed the pretty clear
00:03:28.940
instructions he was getting, and he murdered Paty. He paid some school kids 300 euros for them to point
00:03:34.660
out Paty to him. Then he took out a foot-long knife and cut off his head, the preferred method of killing
00:03:40.340
in the Koran when it comes to infidels. Oh, and in case you need more information, that Chechen refugee
00:03:46.620
shouted, Allah Akbar, while he did it. As the CBC would say, motive was unknown. There were words
00:03:53.620
of opprobrium. Emmanuel Macron, the president, who believes in open borders and mass Muslim
00:03:58.080
immigration, he condemned the killing as terrorism. You would hope so. Macron said it was, quote,
00:04:02.840
a typical Islamist terrorist attack, which seems pretty accurate to me. And he said that Islam is,
00:04:08.940
quote, in crisis, which I think is true also. Well, Turkey's authoritarian president, Recep Erdogan,
00:04:17.580
made that his big moment. And he's actually launched a massive anti-France, anti-Macron campaign.
00:04:24.620
He's just going nuts against France right now, much like the Muslim world did towards Denmark
00:04:29.200
a dozen years ago after they published the cartoons too. World leaders are choosing sides. Radicals in the
00:04:34.520
Muslim world condemned France and Macron. Some Democrats and liberals sided with Macron.
00:04:41.940
Trudeau, well, he stayed silent for 10 days, only saying something grudgingly when he was asked about
00:04:49.280
it by the Bloc Québécois. And look at this atrocious tweet by the foreign minister, also from Quebec.
00:04:56.160
We stand in solidarity with our French friends. Turkey's recent comments about France are totally
00:05:01.300
unacceptable. We must return to respectful diplomatic exchanges. But look at this, look at this,
00:05:06.080
look at this. We will always stand together to defend freedom of expression with respect?
00:05:12.440
Hang on, hang on. Canada will only defend freedom of expression if it's done respectfully, as in,
00:05:18.300
if you show respect for, in this case, Mohammed, you're fine. But if you don't, like Charlie Hebdo didn't,
00:05:23.700
and presumably as Emmanuel Macron is accused of not doing, then you won't stand in solidarity with him?
00:05:29.220
When did that last part get added in? Freedom of expression with respect? What? Respect for whom?
00:05:35.240
For what? Where is that in any law book or history book or charter of rights? Sure, you have freedom
00:05:40.560
of expression, but only if you bow down to me and don't insult me or offend me or bother me.
00:05:46.360
If you respect me, that is, if you do nothing that I don't want you to do, you can say whatever you like,
00:05:51.000
as long as it is what I like. So you can have all the freedom of speech in the world subject to
00:05:56.000
whatever I say. It's like Henry Ford saying you can have a car, a Model T in any color as long as
00:06:01.240
it's black. Freedom of expression with respect. I'm not surprised that came from Francois Philippe
00:06:08.280
Champagne, our foreign minister. He's so deep with communist China that he actually had a mortgage from
00:06:13.760
the Chinese government bank. I'm serious. So yeah, that's how they talk in China about free speech
00:06:18.780
too. If you respect the Communist Party, you can have free speech with respect. In fact, the father
00:06:25.080
of the Muslim girl, the father who led the mob, the mosque that led the mob, the mob itself, the
00:06:30.800
Chechen murder, they all believe in freedom of speech if you show respect. Of course they do. That's all
00:06:35.960
they want for you to respect them, their beliefs, their religions, their prophets, their sensitivities,
00:06:41.660
more than you respect your own freedoms, your own beliefs in freedom, secularism, France.
00:06:45.780
So Francois Philippe Champagne was actually, to be very technical and deliberate about it, he was
00:06:52.000
actually siding with the murderer because the murderer was really hung up on that with respect
00:06:58.600
part, wasn't he? Look at this nice man just today. This is from Mahir Mohamed, former president of
00:07:05.100
Malaysia, Muslim man obviously. Muslims have a right to be angry and to kill millions of French people
00:07:10.640
for the massacres of the past. Oh yeah, okay. And I should tell you that although Twitter eventually
00:07:16.040
deleted that one tweet, they kept up the rest of his tweets in the series of attacks on France
00:07:20.840
and they didn't suspend his account. Twitter suspended the Twitter account of the New York Post
00:07:26.040
a couple weeks ago for publishing a true story about Hunter Biden's China connection. They're still
00:07:31.300
suspended. Not allowed to tweet, that is, but this thug is. And would you look at that?
00:07:37.520
Man shouting Allahu Akbar kills three at French church. Terrorism investigation opened.
00:07:44.540
Paris. Three people were killed in a knife attack at a church in the southern French city of Nice on
00:07:49.700
Thursday, an act President Emmanuel Macron referred to as an Islamist terror attack, which prompted the
00:07:55.920
country to raise its security alert to the highest level. Well, some people aren't quite sure if it's a
00:08:01.320
terrorist attack. Take a look at this. And let me clarify, I apologize. We don't know the exact nature of
00:08:10.740
this attack. I actually was reflecting on a series of other Islamic radical attacks where people were stabbed
00:08:19.440
and killed in churches. We don't have that information yet. There has been a wave of such terrorism. We'll wait
00:08:26.600
actually for authorities to tell us what happened inside this church. What of unknown. Now, it wasn't
00:08:32.900
just a knife attack, as the Washington Post said. It was a beheading. It's a bit different, isn't it?
00:08:38.940
Here's the CBC. Three dead as woman beheaded in France. Gunmen killed in second incident.
00:08:46.500
At least they wrote that there was a beheading. I read the entire CBC article quite carefully,
00:08:50.540
actually. And nowhere do they describe the murderer as a terrorist. They quote Macron and other officials.
00:08:57.600
And in some of those quotes, those other officials use the word terrorist. So they're not actually censoring
00:09:02.780
Macron saying it. But the CBC never says the word terrorist. It's actually their official policy. I'm not
00:09:07.560
kidding. They never call Muslim terrorists, Muslim terrorists. Look for yourself. Read the story yourself.
00:09:13.500
They don't use the word Muslim either, except if they're quoting someone else who does.
00:09:16.520
The only two places the CBC used the word Muslim is to paint Muslims as the victims here.
00:09:23.880
Quote, it was not immediately clear if Thursday's attack was connected to the cartoons,
00:09:28.000
which Muslims considered to be blasphemous. Well, not all Muslims do, by the way.
00:09:33.600
But hey, thanks for sticking up for the terrorists and explaining their rationale.
00:09:37.720
Here's the other mention in the article by the CBC. That has prompted an outpouring of anger
00:09:42.680
in parts of the Muslim world, with some governments accusing Macron of pursuing an anti-Islam agenda.
00:09:48.660
So the CBC won't ever call anyone a terrorist. They just won't. And the only time they use the
00:09:53.940
word Muslim or Islam in a story about Muslim or Islamic terrorism, it's to make the terrorist side
00:09:59.380
of the story. You see, Macron is so anti-Islam. What could you expect? She was wearing such a short
00:10:05.540
skirt skirt. What did you expect would happen? Yeah, Justin Trudeau and the CBC, they're not neutral
00:10:12.040
anymore, are they? I think they're actually on the side of the terrorists. Stay with us for more.
00:10:20.420
Would he close down the oil industry? It's false. Would you close down the oil industry?
00:10:35.920
By the way, I would transition from the oil industry, yes.
00:10:38.820
Oh, that's a big statement. I would transition. It is a big statement.
00:10:43.160
Why would you do that? Because the oil industry pollutes significantly.
00:10:47.580
I see. Here's the deal. But you can't do that. Well, if you let me finish the statement,
00:10:52.320
because it has to be replaced by renewable energy over time, over time. And I'd stop giving
00:10:58.600
to the oil industry, I'd stop giving them federal subsidies. He won't give federal subsidies to the
00:11:04.280
gas, excuse me, to the, to solar and wind. Yeah. Why are we giving it to oil industry?
00:11:11.300
We actually do give it to solar and wind. And that's maybe the biggest statement in terms of
00:11:15.320
business. That's the biggest statement. Okay. Because basically what he's saying is he is going
00:11:19.220
to destroy the oil industry. Will you remember that Texas? Will you remember that Pennsylvania,
00:11:27.120
Well, that was the most exciting part of the final Trump-Biden debate, where Biden, I mean,
00:11:34.560
I don't know if he regards it as an error, but Trump certainly thought Biden made a disastrous error
00:11:40.440
by saying, yes, he would shut down the oil and gas industry, a message that Trump has relentlessly
00:11:47.820
rebroadcast in Pennsylvania and other oil and gas producing and fracking states. I think it helped
00:11:56.520
clarify the choice on the ballot next week in the United States. With Trump, it's drill, baby, drill,
00:12:03.120
dig coal, be offshore in the Gulf of Mexico, drill in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
00:12:08.720
Go get him. And with Biden, it's Green New Deal, stop fracking in public land, phase out oil and gas,
00:12:16.160
and basically move to a UN-style solar and wind economy. Joining me now via Skype from the Washington,
00:12:24.920
D.C. area is our friend Mark Morano, the boss of ClimateDepot.com. Mark, it's very interesting that
00:12:31.180
energy is the last big substantive topic in this campaign, isn't it?
00:12:36.780
Yeah, it finally came around. I mean, it was all, you know, COVID and all the various attacks on
00:12:43.700
Trump's personality. But the last debate, I thought, was very good. It really focused everything.
00:12:48.620
And you can see from the debate that this is a very clear choice. And I'm not quite sure. Biden's
00:12:54.280
campaign is terrified at the moment because you have Ohio, Pennsylvania, all these energy producing
00:13:00.440
states, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Michigan, all these states that rely so much on the energy economy.
00:13:07.360
They can't paint Biden. The campaign's terrified he'll be painted as an AOC squad member, Bernie Sanders.
00:13:15.000
And they have been going overtime, basically peddling a stream of not quite truths about Obama's record,
00:13:23.380
starting with Biden's record, starting with Biden himself saying he never said that, when not only
00:13:29.100
did he say that he would stop fracking and all fossil fuels, but he said he would jail the executives
00:13:34.100
of fossil fuel companies. So this is a man who, during the primaries, was pandering to that AOC base
00:13:41.580
Yeah, that's the thing. I mean, he claims that he never endorsed the Green New Deal. I think that
00:13:46.020
was in his first debate with Trump. But it was right there in his online platform. I think they later
00:13:51.960
revised the wording. It's interesting. Every party has their base that likes to hear the real
00:13:58.240
red meat. And then when they go to meet the general public, they become a little more moderate.
00:14:02.700
I mean, you can say that even about some issues for Republicans, building the wall. I always wish
00:14:07.680
Trump would mean what he said when he talked to the base. But the Green New Deal and solar and banning
00:14:14.500
fracking, that's crazy talk to most people outside of the, you know, the outside of LA and New York.
00:14:24.060
That's crazy talk to people who actually think about how much oil and gas they use and to the millions
00:14:29.320
of Americans in that industry. I don't know. I remember it was only about 10 years ago that America
00:14:34.740
was importing billions of dollars a year in oil and gas. Like it was a, it was the world's largest net importer
00:14:42.460
fairly recently. Only in the last year or so has America become a net energy exporter,
00:14:49.300
largely because of fracking and Trump's opening up the drilling. I have to think Americans don't
00:14:55.340
want to go back to being at the mercy of OPEC and paying for imports, let alone all the jobs. I just
00:15:01.240
have to think that there are more Americans who know about oil and gas than the know-nothing
00:15:06.740
millennial AOCs in the world. Well, that's the question. And, you know, that's the whole
00:15:12.720
challenge of this debate. What the Democrats have done is tried to make this on Trump's personality.
00:15:17.700
He sends mean tweets, you know, or he's outrageous or whatever, but on the substance. And I have the
00:15:23.740
stat here. This is a shock. I just, I can't believe this stat. And I can't believe Trump has not touted
00:15:28.880
this enough, but in 2019, just last year, Ezra, U.S. energy production exceeded energy consumption
00:15:36.660
for the first time since U.S. energy exports. And for the first time, U.S. energy exports exceeded
00:15:42.320
imports for the first time since 1952. Wow. Harry Truman was president of the United States,
00:15:49.600
not Dwight Eisenhower. Harry Truman was the last time we've ever done this. And this wasn't an accident.
00:15:54.940
This wasn't on pace to happen with President Obama. This is what has happened. But pre-COVID,
00:16:01.400
this was the most astonishing economy in 60-plus years of the United States. Lowest Black unemployment,
00:16:07.440
lowest Hispanic unemployment. You have Indigenous peoples who were actually supporting a lot of
00:16:13.640
these energy projects. You had the labor unions, the International Laborers International Union
00:16:19.560
coming out, opposing the Green New Deal. They see where this is headed.
00:16:24.520
And now Biden's literally going to come in, turn everything on its head. And not only just on
00:16:30.960
the energy production side, but I mean, on everything from the car industry to our thermostats to
00:16:36.400
agriculture. I mean, we are going to be under the gun and we are headed rapidly to Europe and the
00:16:43.460
stagnation and the growth and the higher electricity rates. And that's what they want. They're not going
00:16:48.040
to deny that. They think we should be paying a lot more for energy.
00:16:52.080
You know, I remember very clearly, it was almost four years ago, the inauguration of President Trump
00:16:59.060
in January 2017. And those very interesting first few days where he had symbolic statements,
00:17:06.560
symbolic meetings that, I mean, that were special. What does he want to do on his very first hour,
00:17:12.040
his very first day, his very first week? And one of the things he did very, very early was to say,
00:17:18.320
go to pipelines, to the Keystone XL pipeline that would bring Canadian ethical oil down from the oil
00:17:26.180
stands and the Bakken geological area, Saskatchewan, North Dakota. Also the Dakota Access Pipeline,
00:17:34.160
which had massive protests that Obama turned a blind eye to. Trump got those deals done
00:17:41.100
immediately. There's been a huge boost in pipeline construction in America. I wonder if people
00:17:48.340
remember how bad it was, how locked down it was, how Greenpeace really had more authority over the
00:17:56.480
land than the U.S. Congress. I wonder if people remember the bad old days because it's been such a
00:18:03.060
transformation in four years. It really has. And the transformation that would happen if President
00:18:08.880
Biden's elected, I mean, we already know AOC and Bernie Sanders wrote his plan. And by the way,
00:18:13.280
when Biden says, I don't support the Green New Deal, that's not my plan, he means it's Biden's
00:18:18.640
Green Deal. That's his exact quote, Biden's Green Deal. So he's getting a semantic issue there.
00:18:23.720
And obviously, Biden's Green Deal doesn't go as far as Bernie Sanders and AOC. But Bernie Sanders
00:18:29.560
actually came out three weeks ago and just told all his fellow progressives, socialists,
00:18:34.060
just stay calm. Let's let the election go. And then we'll be kind of like, don't come in and start
00:18:38.980
criticizing Biden for walking away. And it's a very smart strategic move because they don't want the
00:18:47.400
progressives to tip their hand and scare off any of these so-called undecided voters, although it's
00:18:52.240
hard to believe anyone can be undecided in America right now.
00:18:54.680
Yeah. Let me ask you, I've been, I mean, you and I said to each other just before we turned the camera
00:19:00.540
on how on a knife's edge the election is. It really feels like it did four years ago. 50-50
00:19:07.320
could go either way. So many states up for grabs. I want to believe that Texas is impenetrable to the
00:19:16.580
Democrats. But Beto O'Rourke came mighty close when he was running there. And, you know, because the
00:19:23.900
demographic changes and there's been tens of millions of dollars spent by Soros-type financiers,
00:19:30.960
if they took Texas, the Republicans would never win again. I think they thought they could turn
00:19:38.640
Texas blue. I'm hoping that this oil talk keeps Texas red. Do you think there's any chance Texas
00:19:46.020
would tilt Democrat? I mean, ask me five years ago, I would have laughed. That would be like saying
00:19:50.800
Alberta, Canada would vote liberal, Texas voting Democrat. But Beto O'Rourke came within a couple
00:19:56.780
of points of it, didn't he? I can't remember the exact number. I think it was maybe 53-47. I can't
00:20:03.000
remember. Yes. First of all, if Texas goes, there's no way Trump's going to win. I mean, because that
00:20:07.880
would indicate a groundswell for Biden against Trump. And, you know, the media is doing all the same
00:20:13.740
stuff they did last time. Georgia's in play. I don't think it's in play now. However, as you mentioned,
00:20:19.380
demographic changes, people are leaving California. A lot of people are heading to Texas. Immigration,
00:20:24.720
illegal immigration, legal immigration. So the whole state is changing. It's targeted because it
00:20:29.840
doesn't help the progressives to have, you know, huge majorities in New York or California. They need
00:20:35.860
to spread out. And so believe me, any politicians and even the federal government, they're going to try
00:20:41.380
to spread those voters out to try to neuter places like that. And of course, Florida is great. Florida's
00:20:47.900
very much has been on the edge. I mean, the governor's race, it was, you know, these are close
00:20:52.340
enough all within call, although it looks like Trump has Florida, even if he doesn't win the
00:20:57.100
presidency. But everything's in play because it's very simple, Ezra, especially in the era of the
00:21:03.260
COVID lockdowns. The more people that are harmed economically, the more the government is going to
00:21:10.020
bail out and come up. Guaranteed income now is very likely. It's probably going to be a bipartisan
00:21:15.100
bill within five years because of, you know, this is what the progressives achieved. This is what
00:21:20.520
they were able to do with COVID. So the more people that they can get on government, the more
00:21:24.620
people they can control and either control through the lockdowns, control through environmental or
00:21:29.760
energy regulation, the more people that it's going to be harder and harder to ever defeat that.
00:21:36.580
My hope is that this election, I don't think it's going to be decided on fracking. I think this
00:21:40.960
election is very simple. Are people in America sick, and America is the last bastion, I consider
00:21:47.480
it a last bastion. This is the country where it would turn back. Are they sick of having unelected
00:21:52.980
bureaucrats tell them they can't go to weddings, funerals, have barbecues, have Thanksgiving dinner,
00:21:57.380
Christmas dinner? Are they sick of telling them they had to put on a mask in between bites with your
00:22:02.340
family? I think, and Trump is focusing on this in the last few weeks of this campaign, I think that
00:22:09.040
could be the ultimate. If Trump wins and wins decisively, I think it's going to be a electoral
00:22:14.100
shock against COVID lockdowns, and not on energy policy, not on foreign policy, not on even economics.
00:22:21.400
I think that's it. And I think if it goes the other way, then I think Americans are ready to be ruled
00:22:26.420
to large. Many Americans are ready to be ruled, and they got the majority this time.
00:22:32.000
You know, I think you're right. I think that part of the debate, and we love talking with you about
00:22:37.340
energy and environmentalism. That's your area of expertise, but you're also used to work on Capitol
00:22:43.140
Hill, so I know you know politics very well. And this is turning into a bit of a review on the debate,
00:22:48.040
but I remember Trump was, I think, at his most persuasive when he said, look, I got the illness, but I
00:22:53.420
came back. My wife and son got it, barely even noticed it with Barron, and we got to live. We got to,
00:23:01.380
you know, I mean, and he sounded so reasonable there, actually, if I recall. And I think a lot
00:23:07.140
of Americans just want to be allowed to be normal and not locked down and not stressed out, and not
00:23:14.460
in this, what was supposed to be a two weeks till we flatten the curve moment. I actually think
00:23:19.220
that the media class loves masks, loves lockdown. I read some tweet from the UK that said there's not
00:23:25.960
a lockdown. There's just middle-class people who have, working-class people deliver them food.
00:23:32.840
Middle-class people working from home while working-class people deliver them food. And it's
00:23:37.460
right, for the ruling classes, the media class, the political class, they've loved the pandemic.
00:23:42.540
No one's lost any money. They've had a lot of free time at home, and, you know, a lot of them have,
00:23:48.980
government furloughs have been getting full pay for zero work. The actual, the real working class
00:23:54.180
is sick of it. Moms are sick of it. People who are sick of being told to wear masks that
00:24:00.020
do work, don't work, do they work? I think that that issue is a sleeper. And I think Trump
00:24:07.220
definitely has the edge there. Boy, give me a prediction. I hate to ask you for it.
00:24:14.020
Because I'm the same as you. It's 50-50 to me. Do you think he's going to pull it off on Tuesday?
00:24:19.000
Well, the background is this. Had COVID lockdowns not happened, not if COVID could have come,
00:24:23.380
we could have handled it like we handled the 1968 flus, 1957, the Hong Kong Asian flus.
00:24:28.340
No reason to have ever locked down. No reason for Trump to have put Fauci up. But had that never
00:24:32.320
happened, Trump was cruising to a, I would say, an easy re-election. I mean, with the lowest,
00:24:36.660
best economy, lowest unemployment. However, I'd say it's 50-50 now because of this mail-in balloting,
00:24:43.180
the potential for fraud, the whole idea of the election coming on a lot on Trump's personality.
00:24:50.620
The Democrats were successfully able to make that an issue. So you got your soccer moms not voting
00:24:55.260
on whether kids are going to school or COVID lockdowns or fracking or energy or economy.
00:25:00.120
They're voting on, oh, you know, I'm so sick of Trump and hearing about him in the media.
00:25:03.980
That's part of the strategy. I'd say it's 50-50. On some days, my gut says Biden. Other days,
00:25:10.060
I see more hope for Trump. But I think ultimately, my meter tilts to Biden somehow pulling this out.
00:25:16.000
And I don't know why, but I do think the possibility of electoral anti-lockdown COVID shock
00:25:22.180
that could be heard around the world. And I'm talking about places like North Carolina,
00:25:26.800
where the Democratic governor has gyms closed and movie theaters closed. I don't think North
00:25:32.200
Carolinians in the South and America can put up with that. But I could be wrong. He's up for
00:25:36.700
re-election this year. That's a bellwether for me. I don't care what the polls show.
00:25:39.860
So this is where we are. But I predicted Trump would lose in 2016. So I always like to give you
00:25:47.220
my track record in terms of that. So in terms of Trump predictions. So take it for what it's worth.
00:25:54.200
I think it's 50-50 edge to Biden. Yeah. Well, it's better to be pessimistic. That means your
00:25:59.960
feelings aren't hurt if it turns out poorly. And you get a boost if you're wrong.
00:26:05.440
And it's so hard to tell. I agree with you. Fraud's a big issue. The tech companies are
00:26:11.060
suppressing stories and suppressing and sharing of social media posts that was really key to Trump
00:26:16.820
last time. And I have to say, even though it's five days till the election, in these days,
00:26:23.680
five days is an eternity. There may still be a November surprise that we get. I mean,
00:26:32.260
I know that sounds crazy. But I mean, just think about what happens in any given week,
00:26:36.820
whether it's peace with Bahrain, or the president going in and then coming out of hospital for the
00:26:41.860
virus, or the Hunter Biden lab. I mean, almost every day, we have a month's worth of news. So
00:26:47.600
you never know what will happen between now and then. Great to see you, Mark. Let's hope for the
00:26:51.860
best. This is important, not just to America, but to Canada and the world, too. Thanks for joining us.
00:26:57.540
All right. What a pleasure to have you. Stay with us. More ahead.
00:27:11.920
Hey, welcome back on my monologue last night. A.B. writes,
00:27:15.920
Politicians organize rallies of thousands of people. No one bats an eye. And one little family
00:27:20.100
organizes Christmas dinner, and everyone loses their minds. Yeah, you're talking about the cops
00:27:24.400
in the UK saying they're going to go break up Christmas dinners. You know what? You can do that
00:27:29.180
in a country that you have disarmed, in a country without firearms. So yeah, maybe they're going
00:27:33.080
to do it. And really, half the Brits seem to be going along with things anyway, so they'll comply.
00:27:39.100
Mike writes, don't kid yourselves, this is coming to Canada. It might. It might. We're halfway between
00:27:44.600
the UK and the United States in many ways. We haven't seen the kind of abuses here yet, thank God.
00:27:50.660
Knock on wood, that we have in the UK and Australia. I hope we don't.
00:27:53.580
On my interview with Sheila Gunn-Reed, McGuire writes, hold their feet to the fire, rebels show
00:27:59.500
the public how these crooked elitists operate. You know what I learned after, I spoke to the lawyer
00:28:04.080
after the trial yesterday, after the hearing, and he said there were six lawyers on the government
00:28:09.080
side. Six government lawyers in the court all day. We had one lawyer. Six lawyers. I thought Alberta
00:28:19.020
was in a recession. I thought they were short of funding. I thought they were running a huge deficit.
00:28:22.940
I thought there were problems with health care and unemployment. I didn't know the government of
00:28:26.980
Alberta had so much money they could put six government lawyers on our case of this billboard.
00:28:33.140
And what's even stranger is I don't know why it's happening under Jason Kenney's premiership.
00:28:36.900
I don't know, but we'll keep fighting. If you want to learn more, go to rebeltrial.com.
00:28:41.360
All right, that's our show for today. Until tomorrow, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel
00:28:45.020
Edwards, to you at all, good night. Keep fighting for freedom.
